DRAPERS AWARD for FLY London Footwear

Fly London for Footwear Brand of the Year

For no less than the third time in four years, Fly London has once more been nominated for the prestigious Footwear Brand of the Year award at the Drapers Footwear Awards! Shortlisted as one of this year’s exceptional performers, Fly’s uniquely quirky designs and detailing have established it as one of the brands to watch – it is unlikely this celebrated accolade will elude them for much longer!

The new Autumn/Winter 2008 collection from Fly London is it’s strongest yet. Always progressive, never conventional, Fly’s omnipresent surreal charm is evident in a collection that takes you on a stroll down a 20th century memory lane with influences from the 20s to the 80s. Although the colour palette may be a classically autumnal affair, look a little closer and the details and materials are anything but classic. The collection this season features a host of stylish ranges for men, women and children.

MELISSA x ZAHA HADID

Architecture meets Fashion, Hadid’s first collaboration with a fashion label!


Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid's recent work on the Chanel Mobile Art project seems to have sparked a desire for further fashion collaboration. The curvature of the limited-edition shoe is familiar from many recent projects by Zaha Hadid Architects, including the new London Aquatic Centre.




This time, the Brazilian footwear brand Melissa has given Hadid the opportunity to design a shoe.
